Travel India with me: Atlas Obscura Jantar Mantar – Jaipur, India

IN 1728, SAWAI JAI SINGH II, rajah of Jaipur, dispatched his emissaries across the globe to gather the most accurate astronomical data possible.

When they returned, Jai Singh ordered the construction of the original Jantar Mantar complex in New Delhi, a monumental astronomical observatory constructed entirely out of stone and based on the astronomical tables of the French mathematician Phillipe de la Hire. In all Sawai Jai Singh built a total of five observatories, with the largest being this later construction of the Jantar Mantar in his hometown of Jaipur.
